Johnson exposes Biden's teenage moves

 He said his eyes were on my beautiful wife Carrie

Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has revealed in his soon-to-be-released autobiography why US President Joe Biden refused to visit a British aircraft carrier during his visit to the UK in 2021, due to the number of steps he would take, according to the British newspaper "The Telegraph".

The newspaper reported that Johnson was referring to his meeting with Biden before the G7 summit in Cornwall.

Johnson attacks Biden

Johnson and his aides wondered whether the US president, who was 78 at the time, "really looked old as his critics sometimes say", according to an excerpt from Johnson's book Unleashed.

Johnson's book states: "His staff told us he would not go on board our huge aircraft carrier, because of the number of steps" he would have to take, which raised many questions about his physical fitness.

But the former prime minister touched on another aspect, which is that Biden was "a little bit impressed" with Johnson's wife Carrie, who was 33 at the time, according to the book.

Johnson's biography

Johnson noted that Biden, who attended the summit with his wife Jill, joked that he and Carrie might sneak off for a walk on the beach alone.

According to Johnson's book, Biden turned to Carrie and said: "Why don't you and I go to the beach... and leave this guy here?" Jill Biden showed her eyes in surprise.

Johnson's biography, Unleased, will be released on October 10.

Boris Johnson also revealed in his book that his staff found a listening device in his office bathroom after it was used by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a visit to the British Foreign Office in 2017, when Johnson was serving as British foreign secretary.
